3. Set the start frequency.
Press Start Freq and then set the value to 50 Hz using the numeric keypad or the knob and cursor keys.
4. Set the stop frequency.
Press Stop Freq and then set the value to 5 kHz using the numeric keypad or the knob and cursor keys.
At this point, the instrument outputs a continuous sweep from 50 Hz to 5 kHz if output is enabled.
You can also set the sweep frequency boundaries of the sweep using a center frequency and frequency span. These
parameters are similar to the start frequency and stop frequency (above) and they provide added flexibility. To achieve
the same results, set the center frequency to 2.525 kHz and the frequency span to 4.950 kHz.
To generate a frequency sweep, press Trigger twice. The first press puts the trigger in manual mode, and the second
one sends a trigger. For more information, see
Output Burst Waveform
You can configure the instrument to output a waveform with for a specified number of cycles, called a burst. You can
control the amount of time that elapses between bursts with the internal timer or the signal level on the rear-panel Ext
Trig connector. For this example, you will output a three-cycle sine wave with a 20 ms burst period.
